Oligarchy and Plutocracy work just as well. So, it's more difficult for an individual or corporation to build a monopoly, now. So what? Well heeled entities with common interests can now load up SuperPacs and exert influence that way.

"Later Saturday, Christie arrived at the Palm Beach home of Jose Pepe Fanjul Jr., executive vice president of Florida Crystals, one of the nation's largest sugar producers.
Another fundraiser was set to take place at the Fort Lauderdale home of Bill Rubin, the president of a lobbying firm and a longtime friend of Scott's.
On Sunday, Christie was scheduled to attend fundraisers in Palm Beach and meet with major financial supporters at a gathering organized by Ken Langone, the billionaire co-founder of Home Depot, who urged the governor to consider a late entry into the 2012 presidential race. The event, which was first reported by The Washington Post, will allow some of Christie's longtime supporters to huddle following the governor's sweeping re-election in November."
'Governor Christie, if we support you can we has tax free status and slave labor?'
